Etymology

[edit]

ʼa- (unspecified person object prefix) + -∅- (3rd person subject prefix) + -s- (stative perfective marker) + -d- (classifier) + zoh (perfective verb stem), from -zóóh (make a mark, draw a line)

The noun sense is a direct nominalization of the verb, and likely derives from the way that inches would be marked out, either on a ruler or on the item being measured.
